Makkal Auto, a private auto rickshaw service provider, has taken the lead in operating an electric auto in the city. The fully converted electric auto was flagged off by Munish Sharma, Trade Commissioner and Consul (Commercial), Australian Trade and Investment Commission (Austrade), on Sunday. A number of delegates from the office of the Australian Trade Commissioner also participated.
Mansoor Ali Khan, chairman, Makkal Auto, said the auto, a first-of-its-kind in the city, was retro-fitted with electric motor by converting the old conventional petrol auto, for which approval was obtained from the Transport Department.
Quick charging
Mr. Khan said the newly converted electric auto would be able to run a maximum of 100 km at full charge, that can be done in one to three hours. Depending on the success of the electric auto, Makkal Auto plans to hit city roads with 100 e-autos by the end of this year.
Australian officials were later taken to the Kapaleeswarar temple in Mylapore in the vehicle.
